is it compatible with pci-express 2.0

Yes, all PCI x slots are compatible with one another. The slot ultimately controls the speed though, so it won't perform as quickly as it could. But honestly, you won't be able to tell the difference.Also, the other commenter may have just had a bad experience. This card is fantastic and I've never had a single issue.

Do not buy gigabyte r9 280x, you will lose time and money! This card hangs in every game, no matter if you update the bios or vga drivers the card doesnt works well! I have to RMA this card and i lose 200$ us dollars, the store neither gigabyte cant help you, choose another brand,

There's absolutely no performance decrease between PCIe's 2 and 3, so you're in luck! :)

Yes, I'm running it on an ASUS M5A99FX PRO R2.0 motherboard and haven't had any major issues. It's always a gamble ... once in a while you might get a bad card, but sometimes the small handful of people who have had problems are the ones that complain the most. (EDIT: I feel I should mention one thing. This card is known to sometimes "flicker" in 2-D mode when you're on your desktop. It doesn't happen often, and newer drivers can help, but you might see it. If you can live with that small glitch, this is a great card.)

I believe I can only answer one question here. All PCI-E editions are backwards compatible with their previous version. 3.0 > 2.0 > 1.0. I don't know the other answer though, sorry.

Yes all cards are compatible with all motherboards that have the PCI-E 2.0 interface or higher. So your motherboard is compaible

What I see on the box says it is compatible with 3.0 motherboard, which means it's backward compatible. Should be just fine pci-e 2.0.

It will work just fine, I bought this card like a month ago and my mother board is PCIE 2.0, the performance is excellent! No complaints so far. The card its great you should get it.

You have to figure out your pci slot first to see if they are compatible. You should have one in the slot already you need to figure which type it is but if it fits it will work!

As long as it has a pci express slot (which it does) then it should be fine.

Yes. This GPU conforms the the PCIe specification which is backwards compatible with previous versions of the specification. This means that this GPU should be compatible with any motherboard that has x16 sized PCIe slots. PCIe 3.0 does have increased bandwidth over PCIe 2.0/2.1 and while the card is technically a PCIe 3.0 card, it will work just fine in the PCIe 2.0 x16 slots on your motherboard and there will be little to no perceptible performance loss.

I couldn't say for sure. I think pci-e is backwards and forwards compatible--it just won't be 3.0-fast. I would google for pci-e compatibility between versions. I used an AMD A-series on-chip GPU and it was for someone else.

This card is specifically meant to only run with PCI/ PCI RAID based setup. it is not a PCI Express compatible as shown in the Picture.

yes. Pci express 2.0 is fine. thats what mine is on. theres not a lot of boards w/ pci 3.0 anyway or they are very expensive. you'll lose nothing on a pci-E 2.0

PCI 3.0 video cards work fine in PCI 2.0 slots. I'm using one in a Gigabyte AM3+ board myself.

No. Go to amazon site copy link and past to your browser. Scoll to bottom of page read the tech stuff discriptions. THis card requires a PCIe 2.0 abd a16 lane graphic slot on the mobo. PCI is not 16 lane. Note the "Express" in the nomenclature. my question to you is did you not read the specs or did not understand. Suggest you do more research on line on the difference between varions type of mobo slots and what they do or what they accommodate in a way of cards.

PCIe 2.0 works just fine (I ran Crossfire with this and a Tri-X on an AMD system with PCIe 2.0).

I'm running a 2.something card so I'm not 100% sure. If it doesn't say so in the specs I'd keep looking for one that specifies 3.0

I want to say yes from what I saw that it had a pci e I'm not sure which pci e I'm sure it's at least 2.0 which is good enough to run the card, just make sure the card doesn't sag to much

Yes. Even though this card is PCI-e 3.0 and the motherboard has PCI-e 2.0 slots, PCI-e 3.0 is backwards compatible with PCI-e 2.0. Just be sure to put the card in one of the two x16 slots, not one of the x4 slots. The manual should show which slots are which.
